1971 AMT Mystery Vintage Decals

[Dandy Dan]

Found these in an old AMT kit. None of the numbers on the decal  match any of the numbers on the box. Plus, the box is a 1970 kit and these seems to be 1971 decals. I'm guessing that it would be Kit T918.  Can anyone give a hint what kit they came out of? Thanks !

I have a newer issue 40 Ford Coupe that has the "SPEE WAGON"  decal and a few of the sponors decals. Maybe your is from an earlier issue.

Looks like this one? I'm not sure. Somebody with more knowledge than me will probably chime in.

That sheet was first used in the AMT '70 Olds 442 (Y-736, a re-boxed Jo-Han kit), and later in the '40 Ford coupe.  There may have been a second AMT boxing of the Jo-Han '70 442 with a T-series number; my catalogs don't show one but there are other things they don't include also. 

There was an issue of the '40 Ford coupe (T-266) with a cardboard record included.  When they ran out of records, AMT changed the box art slightly (keeping the T-266 stock number) and this sheet replaced the one that had been used.  The re-boxed Jo-Han kits seem to have been extremely short-run offerings, perhaps too many 442 kit sheets were printed so the surplus wound up in the '40 Ford coupe.  As an aside, I've never seen a sheet that matched up to the first version T-266 kit's box art.

The T-series numbers don't run as high as 918.  The only AMT kits in the 1970 catalog with numbers in the 900 range were the space/Star Trek items (S-900 numbers).

I just happen to own most of an AMT '70 Olds 442 Y-736 (bought off eBay). No instructions or decals, but the Spee Demon markings are shown on the box art. Looks like we have a winner!
